Higson artfully remains absolutely true to the mythos while proffering a backstory that is different than what is expected. Rated: Mild. After the previous book , Hurricane Gold , I had feared that the language would continue to worsen. Happily, it has actually improved, with just over a dozen mild terms and a handful of inappropriate references to Deity. I love the Young Bond series! It is mysterious , shocking , and shows the beginning of how James Bond came to be!

Main menu Skip to content. April 1, at pm. Nichole says:. March 17, at pm. Higson has delivered a highly entertaining series, with lots and lots of action with unexpected and unique characters. For the first time in my life, I shed tears over a book, by no other than the wonderful author Charlie Higson. I owe him my thanks for keeping me busy with this book, keeping me on my feet, and making me shed a few tears , it actually felt good. At times it is , but it mainly expresses the difficulties of the present and previous day civilians.

Such as bad government problems and violence. This book I think should strike the reader as an action, suspense, unlikely, and somewhat romantic novel. I would give this book a 5 star, but it sometimes confuses me and makes me wonder , and lulled me at times, but in conclusion that all changed near the end of the book. All in all, this is a must read novel. Jan 26, Nate Rawdon rated it it was amazing. By Royal Command became the first series of books I have ever completed, and I'm glad to say that it did the rest of the fantastic series great justice.

As always the action was of a high degree from the very start, with an excellent new array of characters introduced with intriguing and believable story-lines. Despite the ever present action, the final installment in the Young Bond series did in fact introduce several new themes that had never previously received much focus.

The main character, By Royal Command became the first series of books I have ever completed, and I'm glad to say that it did the rest of the fantastic series great justice. The main character, of course being James Bond, had his personal feelings and life expressed much more so than before, with it being a major part of the plot. The novel also featured a newer degree of sophistication, featuring the usual array of plot twists, but offering a surprising sense of unpredictability.

This helped the ever present mood of growth in the novel, which was a strong part of the story as the plot and characters continually moved on, which inevitably helped the novel near its fitting and welcomingly obvious conclusion. The first edition of the Young Bond series, Silverfin, was the first more mature novel of which I ever read, and so it feels as though I have reached a landmark moment to have completed the series that seemingly introduced me to the world of reading.

So I thought I had read the first one in this series, Silverfin , but apparently not. Like a James Bond movie, you don't need to know all of the previous stuff, necessarily, to be able to follow this one. Unlike a James Bond movie, this was some of the most boring, unimaginative writing I think I've seen in a long time, and it actually accomplished something I've never seen before - it makes spy games seem dull.

I can't find much of anything to say about this that's worthwhile. The end does pick So I thought I had read the first one in this series, Silverfin , but apparently not. The end does pick up somewhat, I suppose, only to have a graphically gross scene toward the end really take me out of things, but I was ready to give up on this pages earlier at that point and couldn't, so Skip this.

Unless you're an evil mastermind who has an enemy spy captured - then you might give them this to pass the time. View all 3 comments.

Easily the best book in the series. This fifth novel ties James Bond's year at Eton into a neat story arc. Elements of the first three books are all tied toogether in this story, especially volumes 1 and 3. View 2 comments. Sep 04, Alex rated it it was amazing. Great, action-packed adventure. Full of surprises and twist. May 09, Jack Lugo rated it it was amazing Shelves: recently-read , favorites. I say this with no hint of hyperbole or exaggeration.

It must be admitted that his career at Eton was brief and undistinguished and, after only two halves, as a result, it pains me to record, of some alleged trouble with one of the boys' maids, his aunt was requested to remove him. She managed to obtain his transfer to Fettes, his father's old school. His roommate for the trip, Miles, is a talkative pretentious type who thinks he knows everything.

When Miles puts himself in danger by drinking on the slopes and getting lost on the mountain, James risks his own life to save him. The ordeal ends with James being praised as a hero but all is not right afterwards. The book changes gears for each of its three acts. Higson weaves an intricately complicated yet fascinating world for young Bond to navigate and all of it is very well- researched and very relevant to the history of the time period of this story.

Charles Higson and Young James Bond Books

And a weak heart is easily broken. It further cements the prevailing notion that Fleming looked to his own life for the inspiration behind James Bond. The title of By Royal Command is derived from a brief encounter Young James had outside of Windsor Great Park after hiding in a tree from a perceived threat from the man who was following him. James happily obliges and politely leaves.

He later learns that the two girls were the royal princesses, Elizabeth and Margaret. There is right and there is wrong. In the cowboy films the goodies wear the white hats and the baddies wear black. As you get older you realise the world is not so simple. There are men in grey hats. Higson does an extraordinary job weaving the history of the time organically into the story and none of it feels forced.

I highly recommend the series not just for anyone interested in James Bond but for anyone who loves history and enjoys a good historically based adventure story. For me the Charlie Higson run of Young Bond ended on a low note. I had so enjoyed the rest, but this one seemed to be lacking in many areas.

The ending specifically rose not to a peak, but to the equivalent of a small hill. Sometimes bringing old characters back can be really exciting, however it seemed almost as if it was done out of a lack of creativity. I guess I'll chuck in some old ones. True, in each book James makes certain choices that inevitably make life harder, but for someone who has been following the series it seemed as if James mentally took a few steps backward.

Almost as if he hadn't been through anything like this before. Chasing a man with a hat through some woods, being chased through the streets, or hopping on and off a train, were presented as some of the most exciting and thrilling events of his life. To anyone who has read any of the other four books, each of those things should be everyday occurrences by now.

If you've read the other four books I would suggest this one so that you can close out the larger story line. If not, read the other books because they are very good. Sep 03, Libby Ames rated it liked it Shelves: young-adult-fiction , audio-book , mystery , for-my-boys. I only started listening to these books because Nathaniel Parker was the reader and then they made the switch.

I did not like the new reader, but I pushed on with the book. Higson does great things with plot and a believable creation of the enigmatic James Bond. As James grows up, so do his stories. I would put this book as one for slightly older readers than the first few books. An enjoyable story and characters, but some deeper subjects of betrayal and loyalty. This series remains a great read for teens who love adventure. I really enjoyed this audio version of the last Young Bond by Charlie Higson. I almost gave up again at exactly the same point I did when reading this many years ago, but I'm so glad I didn't.

This was a great adventure for Bond with a thrilling plot, great villians and of course a love interest. Nathaniel Parker did a superb job as the narrator at all the different characters, nationalities, male and female, young and old.
